Topic: Wii U Recommendations Thread

101 100% yes. I would say Wii Party U as it is good value for money considering you get a Wii Remote included. Also, if you don't want the game, you could sell it on eBay, keep the remote and use the money to buy Sonic: Lost World.

If you have a Target near you get all three if they're in stock, as there's a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all video games this week.

@Barbiegurl777: about the barbie game, licensed games tend to be very different on consoles and in portables. I'd recommend you to check the features each version has and decide which one you want. You could even get both if they're different enough!

I'd definitely recommend NintendoLand- it's $30. You might be able to even find it cheaper. I thought Twister racing game was good, Zelda, Metroid, donkey kong, and ninja games were all good. I didn't really understand the multi player games and that's what a lot of people seem to like.

@CountWavenStein I said it before but I will say it again...

Crack that baby open and get your game on dude

So I'm thinking about which Bundle I should get?

or

The Zelda bundle looks great since I'm going all digital but it doesn't has the DPP which I'll get a ton of use out in the next year buying all my games digital. The Mario Bundle isn't digital but I don't mind having one Retail game since it would always be in my system.

ALL of the Deluxes should have the Deluxe Digital Promotion, in fact that picture you posted has it mentioned on the box. Anyway, you should get the NSMBU+NSLU one if you want to get all three of those games, as it'd be the cheapest in the end, plus if you're willing to shop on Black Friday and pay 20 bucks more Best Buy has that bundle with the Mario+Luigi Wii Remote Pluses included.

I was under the assumption that the DDP site needed a code like the club nintendo one or the Zelda Download code. It just kicks in after you've bought your system and downloaded your first game. I wonder how the NN know's what system type of system your using.

So I got 25 euro left on my debit card, and for that price I can get one videogame between Ninja Gaiden 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Resident Evil Revelations or Splinter Cell: Blacklist. I don't know what to get since I have no experience with almost any of these series (the only franchise I know is Resi, and I stopped playing it after the fourth episode). I'm wondering which one of these games has the best value for money in terms of actual gameplay quality and length. I don't really have a favourite genre.

I'm really tempted by Splinter Cell: Blacklist because I know absolutely nothing about this serie, but I don't want to end up with a game that you play, beat and then shelve after 7 hours...

Dues Ex gets my vote. Resident Evil's good, too, but Dues Ex is great stuff in the 360, and the Wii U DC version is better from what I've seen. Plus its the most bang for your buck, over 20 hours on your first run.

cheers for the info - Game & Wario was an option I forgot to mention, but I went with Deus Ex in the end (and it's left me enough money on the debit card to buy the Pikmin 3 DLC in December!).
Still curious about the other titles though. I haven't read the reviews (I never do) but from the videos of Revelations, Blacklist and Ninja Gaiden 3, they all look pretty fun.

Ninja Gaiden is balls-to-the-wall hard. I played a demo on the PS3 on easy and was absolutely demolished. I retried it 20 times and could not beat it, and I played Ninja Gaiden I and II a fair amount. If that sounds exciting to you, though, then its definitely one to keep an eye on.

Again, Revelations is good stuff. If you haven't played an RE game recently, there's a demo on the eshop to try that I thought was a fairly good indicator of what to expect.

I know nothing of Blacklist, either...I haven't played a Splinter Cell game since Double Agent, and it seems the series has changed a lot since then.

Anyone recommend Tekken 2 (Wii U) for $12.99? I personally thought it was a good price. Is Sonic Racing (Wii U) also a good deal for $34.99?

Both great games. You might be able to find Sonic cheaper, but even at that price it's good. Two of my favorites.....

Yes.

Gonna be grabbing my Wii U tomorrow, and so far I have Super Mario 3D World, Tekken Tag 2 and NFS Most Wanted. Anything else I should grab in the meantime?

Pikmin, rayman, nintendoland, Wii u party, madden, zombie u, sonic & all stars transformed

@Nuuzen
Nintendo Land for multiplayer (As long as you have Wiimotes)

There's some lag issues towards the end of the game (though tbf the screen is littered with stuff at that point) but most of the time it'll run at that frame-rate, yes.

I bought Splinter Cell Blacklist on Wii U at a Black Friday sale yesterday (it was only €15), I heard that version was plagued by long loading times but does the game run well otherwise?

I have Sonic Lost World coming in the mail soon. Any thoughts on the game about what to expect? Many mixed reviews on the web.

If anyone still hasn't picked up Pikmin 3 or SM3DW yet, you should reconsider!
